Customer Reviews
Great way to start the morning!
Fun, informational, great take on the business world. You can tell their team put a lot of work into making this podcast great for their listeners. Great job.
Political bias and too many ads
I’ve listened to this show since it was Robinhood snacks. Over time they have added more and more ads. Whenever they report on a story that has politics involved, they always show their bias.
More than 50% ads
I skip the first and last 5 minutes, missing nothing important, but still have to skip through about 5 minutes of junk sprinkled in. It’s not worth it.
